Round Picket Bowl
Regular price $105.00 Save $-105.00Materials: fused, kiln formed glass
Dimensions: D 35 cm x H 5 cm
From the maker: "Limitations imposed by kilnsizes make design, layout and dimensions important for my work. The glass, with it's light and pure colours bring the dull black and white sketch plans to life. Seemingly with a mind of it's own the molten glass will decide just exactly where it will run, to bring another challenge to a most rewarding process. Using a 'parfused' or 'contoured fusing" process, gives the finished pieces more texture and more edges for the light and colours to move and intermingle." Peter Revelman

Regular price $180.00 Save $-180.00Materials: Hollow, pale blue titanium
Dimensions: 32mm
Meet the Maker: Sarah Murphy maintains her practice in Canberra at M16 Artspace where she creates her work to exhibit nationally.
She says of her work ‘Rhythm, repetition and movement are the fundamentals which are often the driving forces behind my work. I use repetition as a rhythm and a play between worlds of colour, movement and shape. In life we experience repetition every day. The simple act of walking, breathing or the sound of our own heartbeat. The gesture or movement of the human body, creating its own random yet syncopated pattern. The use of repetition in my work creates structure. The presence of structure in our lives gives us the sense that we are somehow in control of our own existence. I enjoy creating jewellery with these characteristics and exploring how this might affect the relationship between the wearer the viewer and the piece itself.’
